Old School Love Song

[tubenit]

For the last 2 yrs, I have been trying to learn 2 to 3 new songs a month.  I've done pretty good staying with that goal. 

It's been great fun learning and recording them!  I've been doing mostly soul music, R&B, some jazz oriented stuff and blues.  Lotsa old school stuff I grew up with.

Ironically, I am not anxious speaking in front of 200 people, but I'm super bashful doing music in front of 2 people. I've been trying to find the courage to sing at an open mic sometime soon. While I've been doing open mics with a buddy of mine, his vocals are SO much better than mine, I just play rhythm.

I recorded this with my Grote jazz guitar ($200 new) and my Minimalist amp.  I've always loved this tune. It's sort of a mix of sappy and cool at the same time, IMO.


I transposed the song to the key of G, and used some C9 and Cadd9 chords instead of C.  So, it's not quite like the original arrangement.

At 74, my hands are terribly arthritic .......... not sure how many more yrs I'll be able to play. I use lotsa triads now to get by.


With respect, Tubenit
